>Mostly because I expected to see the full US release of DQ8 on mobile, not a shoddy port.

I knew it was going to be garbage as soon as I saw the trailer. Don't understand why anyone was surprised.

>I'm hoping that if we ever get a PC version of DQ8 (PS2 port) that some enterprising folk can hack in the voice acting and better soundtrack.

Just get the disc, pop it in, and play it on a PS2 emulator. It'll be better than whatever hackjob SE would provide.

Play Asia occasionally sees restock of it as well, though with the upcoming 3DS release (which won't be as high quality as the PS2 version - I've already done visual comparisons) SE has probably discontinued supply, at least temporarily.

In all honesty I'm certain they intentionally shortchanged the iOS/Android port so impulsive people would rush to buy it (mainly Japan due to DQmania), then 3DS version is superior to that so those people buy it again on 3DS. A/V will remain superior on NA PS2 version. In five years or so we'll see a remaster of the 3DS version on another system with all its new features and likely A/V matching the NA PS2 version.

It's all business. How many times can they get you to buy the same thing when the best was already done years ago?

Here's what I'd say:

My favorite DQ game is probably still part 3, and of the NES and gbc versions I've played I liked the gbc version better. This can only be played on a Gameboy Color or Gameboy Advance / SP though (backwards compatible w/ the gbc cart). You can also play the gbc remakes of DQ1 & 2 on this, though the games have been slightly "dumbed down" and made easier. For part 2 this is probably a good thing since the NES version is hard as hell. If you do decide to grab a GBA SP I would highly recommend looking into an AGS-101 model which has a backlight and is superior to the normal model. The graphics really pop!

Here is the 101 model that I bought from Amazon (my review is even on here). The Onyx / black one wasn't normally available like this, it's a regular SP shell with the guts of a 101. That being said, it looks and plays perfectly:

https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Game-Boy-Advance-AGS-101-Black/dp/B00820R20Q/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1542978398&sr=8-3&keywords=gameboy+advance+sp+ags+101

The other 101 that I've seen for sale before is a light blue metallic color which I didn't like as much.

The games you can play on the DS are many: 4, 5, 6, & 9. This is the only way to play part 9 that I know of. Like part 3 you can form a team of different classes however you want which is something that I personally like. The class system is really well-done. Also the post game is incredible and virtually endless. My save file on DQ9 is approx. 600 hours.

Now all of these DS games can of course be played on a 3DS, which opens you up to the remakes of DQ7 and DQ8. DQ7 is beloved by many here, but I never cared for it (though I gave it LOTS of plays because I really wanted to.) The 3DS version of 8 however I'd consider to be the definitive version and it's excellent.

You can use something like this to rip the save from the DS cart, and then use the famous DQIX Save Editor to just add all the DLC to the save.

Same--I actually gave it up some months ago. Finally got fed up with them yanking players around. So I just came back to check out the last stretch. It's announced they'll be migrating it to some sort of offline version, but we still don't know what that entails. Like right now they have nearly every quest accessible--all the challenge bosses, all the character events with no expiration and they only cost like 5 stamina per play instead of the 30~60. They closed up the gems shop sometime in September I think, so who knows if the offline game will have a gacha attached or if it'll be one-time purchase like they did with Dimensions 2.

https://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Monster-Figure-Square-Enix/dp/B005EOFJGW/ Those are the ones I'm picking up. They're all supposed to be to scale with the weapons line.

They also have Erik from XI on preorder now, but I didn't see an exclusive so I'm not as concerned about reserving him.

I would suggest getting a Clear Duraflexi cover for your shiny 3DS.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NFCCOMW/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_18?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AK0GQ5PQ7UDXE

I got that one, and it's kept my beautiful Monster Hunter 4U 3DS pristine.

>I would also love to see 'Dragon Quest 25th Anniversary Encyclopedia of Monsters Illustration Book' localized

Probably not localized in the language you want, but it's definitely getting localized :p

On a side note, considering your suspicion (regardless of validity), you could always return it and buy a brand new copy on Amazon for around $24, which is a better value IMHO. :)

It's sort of a weird situation. It's not officially announced for North America (or Europe) at this time, but during the Switch event they never specified "in Japan" like they did for X and XI.

It's not listed on Nintendo's Switch product slate for the West, nor has Square Enix said anything about it outside of Japan. Yet, despite all of that, some retailers do still have pre-order links for it:

Best Buy

Amazon

My guess is that it is in fact coming (the work is basically done, so there's really no reason not to) but Square Enix is (understandably) trying to stay silent on the matter until Heroes 2's PS4 launch is out of the way.

You can pre-order Dragon Quest Heroes I + II on Amazon already.

Would this one work instead? Sorry, still really new to anything related to this.
I appreciate the help a lot!

The Dragon Quest Metallic Monsters Gallery collection is officially licensed by Square Enix. They're floating all over the place - Amazon, Ebay, and when in Japan they're in the stores too.

Literally the only reason I buy game guides.

FWIW Dark Horse, I think, is publishing a Dragon Quest artbook later this year.

EDIT: 30th anniversary artbook:

Dunno if that includes DQXI or not. 30th anniversary was 2016, right? So... maybe?

Amazon UK sells it for about £10, but I'm not sure if they deliver worldwide.

For those of you in the UK, Argos sells it for £5.99.

Used copies, but still far less than $125. Though, I'd suggest checking a few physical game stop locations nearby. I often find rare gems in the DS/GBA cases they have.
